Image: Layered Memories by Sourav Dutta
Artist’s Statement: As both an art history student and a practicing artist, my artistic journey is grounded in the investigation of memory, vulnerability, and inner worlds. My work tends to arise from the conflict between visual appearance and emotional resonance, where the outside world is used as a canvas for inner expression. In photographs and digital alterations, I work within natural and built environments, mapping how exterior environments reflect psychological states.
